    Eh this book was fine. I just did not feel invested into the characters, I did not care at all for the story. I see a lot of people really hyped about this story, but it just was not it for me. It was not bad, but not good either. It was exactly in the middle for me, hence the 2.5 out of 5 rating. The book was quite long for no reason, some parts felt like filler parts that were not relevant to the story itself. And then the ending felt super rushed? The romance had some cute parts and the FMC and MMC had some sassy remarks that made me giggle too. Check the trigger warning for sure when starting this book bc there are quite a few!!
